In physiology, antibodies are "immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the antigen (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially plasma cells)."[1]

Antibodies include monoclonal antibodies.
